After market turbo is not recommended and illegal unless its done by some professional with expertise ...

My colleague spent 3 K to install a turbo to his nissan last time ... end up the car still lethargic at the low end as the car need to overcoem the turbo lag ... at high end the car did feell more powerful ... but consumption increased to the tune of 6 km/l ... he spent another $600 to remove his turbo six month later

i dont know about the BOV but i know auto car can. Sat in one modded auto Mistubishi Galant with that tiptronic gearbox(after market i believe) drank petrol like crazy. dun exactly how much though… din ask

ditzy SG

If you know how turbos work, autos usually cannot spool up to the required revs and worst still cannot stay there. Laughing Gear ratios would need to be shifted around for optimum performance.

No all cars that produce psst sound are turbo. There are many fakes where the sound come from speakers, not the engine.

EkBoy SG

Speakers?? Rolling Eyes

ed2win2 SG

Yes, speakers. They can be fitted to any cars. Most Mitsubishi & Subaru cars you hear with psst sounds are fitted with this speaker device. Real poseurs, who are they trying to bluff? Laughing

oh... so auto car can put turbo but is useless lah.
then the bov leh? can auto car put it? will it produce the psst sound?

ditzy SG

No turbo, put bov? kum lan? Laughing

BOV are only installed on turbo engines. There must be enough pressure from the engine to open the valve or your car will stall. BOV will cause a lot of problems to the car if it is not tune properly, strictly for turbo engines only.

Only cars like evo can be be fitted with bov. Any cars not in the category of evo with psst sound are likely to be fake.

auto cars can put turbo but will not hear the BOV sound during gear change.

the sound only comes out when the accelerator is release, that is when the excess pressure is being release thru the BOV, and not back to the turbine to increase lag to it.

perseus76 SG

turbo boast usually kicks in abt 3K rpm and above, and if u step hard enough on the accelerator, any auto cars can hit to >5K rpm before changing to the next gear, meaning to say, turbo will work on any auto cars.

digicharat SG

oh… so it means that when auto car put turbo and bov, but the psst sound will only come out when release the accelerator?

dryver SG

yah. and when i get pissed off. Laughing

boi86 SG

Yes i agree wif u. I was passing Plaza sing the other day after a midnite show at 3am. Suddenly this Mitsubishi Airtrek turbo , rev his focking car, dunno wtf he trying to do, then i heard "psst psst " sound 2 times. I believe the bov is an aftermarket product. But the turbo in is airtrek is factory fitted, True enuff, someone said above if the bov is fixed and the car is not tuned properly, u car will become hay-wire , and likely to cock up n spoil...

Cheers anyway !
